Don't really see how the string (and other usual container types) or filesystem APIs are lacking in any significant way compared to stdlibs of other scripting languages. I also believe that buffer as an abstraction strictly makes many

Yep I think it's the best, period. Qwen3-coder perhaps took the limelight but the GLM models perform and behave better in agentic loops. I cannot believe they had gone from a 32B frontend focused GLM-4 to these beasts that can challeng

Yep peg.el[1] is now built-into Emacs since 30.1 (which is how I came to know of it, but actually the library seems much older) and it makes certain things much simpler and faster to do than before (once you figure out its quirks). [1] htt

> Alibaba just shut off the Qwen releases Alibaba from beginning had some series of models that are always closed-weights (*-max, *-plus, *-turbo etc. but also QvQ), It's not a new development, nor does it prevent their open models.

Interesting presumption about R1 25-01 being what's talked about, you knowledge cut-off does appear to know R1 update two weeks back was a thing, and that it even improved on function calling. Of course you have to pretend I meant the

I don't mind the info dump, but I am struggling to connect the relevance of this to topic at hand. I mean, focusing on a single specific capability and generalising it to mean "they all have" caught up with DeepSeek all acros

I tried aidermacs yesterday, it's neat if you use the vterm backend. Does a few things more automatically.

You could maybe make that accusation about V3 (to the extent that it's a bad thing and not fair use, specially considering amoral origin of OpenAI's models in first place), but don't think the claim makes sense for R1 since O

I had Unsloth[1] and Bartowski[2] in mind. Both said on Reddit that Qwen had allowed them access to weights before release to ensure smooth sailing. [1] https://huggingface.co/unsloth [2] https://huggingface.co&#

They have got pretty good documentation too[1]. And Looks like we have day 1 support for all major inference stacks, plus so many size choices. Quants are also up because they have already worked with many community quant makers. Not even g

I think they now have "dirty" NIFs that use a separate scheduler for this.

Windows makes you open Registry Editor and tweak completely inscrutable key/value for those.

Love this game. It taught me to look for a move like g4. Also it was probably not objectively the best move (and definitely not Spassky's best game) but Tim Krabbé made a list of 110 most fantastic moves ever played, and he put Spassky

You can just run something like dnsmasq locally though.

Right but if you implement the rest of the features, you become an org-mode IDE anyway. I don't mean that's a bad thing, syntax is just bare minimum, most usefulness comes from interactive developer experience anyway. I was just a

Well if you don't do that, you would only have a lowest common denominator system with none of the advanced features, and the world has enough of those. If I wanted to emulate a fraction of org-mode features I use daily in markdown, I

I use it to write long running little scripts. It's better than shell, and imo more useful out of the box than Lua. They are basically for I/O (often using sqlite which it has great integration with, or using expect which is also

Does an API not make economic sense for you? Personally I would rather use my own tooling (not VSCode based).

Similar feeling here. I found that simple full-text search goes a long way to scale without needing to impose structures (and things like backlinks). It will probably not be enough for prolific note takers but I think it's enough for p

yt-dlp[1] has now taken on that mantle. I think mpv nowadays just recognises yt-dlp as the de facto alternative, but if yours doesn't then you can just put this in your mpv.conf: script-opts=ytdl_hook-ytdl_path=yt-dlp [1] htt

This is S tier software. I remember using this on a laptop with 2gb RAM years ago. The combo of mpv and youtube-dl could deal with large number of sites (not just youtube), when even the browser struggled.

Anybody know if it's possible to turn this off at build time and how? This seems like a thing we ought to have a conversation about with the distro maintainers.

Do you think reading the manual is supposed to make those problems disappear or make them less frustrating for some reason? These kind of personal attacks just because their opinion differs from yours is low effort, specially given that the
